Abstract: This talk will be a mix of one CSSS alumnus’s career journey through the tech industry, how CSSS prepared me to work in data science and machine learning, and to lead Indeed’s Responsible AI team. I’ll discuss navigating non-academic careers in both boom times and lean times and also dive into some of the methodological specifics of what working in responsible AI entails.
